>>> I wouldn’t say completely ineffective as some people walled in by propaganda might say “hey.”
You are right on this point. We need more awareness. I guess massive protests do work against media propaganda.
My sentiment and intent was to express the futility of say “bringing a knife to a tank fight” when it comes to getting the government to reverse course.
The average person (regardless of where they are on the globe) simply does not realize what we are up against yet.
Normalcy bias is extremely powerful.
We need to break through it.
From Dr. Peter S. Beter’s Audio Letter #35, June 30, 1978:
” . . .Solzhenitsyn’s words had the ring of truth because they are true. But because he dared to speak in spiritual terms, he is being attacked on all sides of the major media.
Those who are attacking Solzhenitsyn now are the very same forces of evil who, a quarter-century ago, attacked the late great British historian Arnold Toynbee. Toynbee, of course, wrote the monumental work entitled “A Study of History.” Over a period of three decades, Toynbee studied in mind-boggling detail all 23 of the separate full-fledged civilizations that are known to have existed in human history. Through a process of comparative study of these civilizations Toynbee arrived at some very far-reaching and important conclusions about how they form, grow, and finally collapse. Toynbee’s “Study of History” was universally acclaimed as an astonishing feat of scholarship—and yet he was attacked viciously through the public media world-wide for just one reason: Toynbee’s critics were driven into a frenzy over the religious approach he had applied to his work.
In an annex to Volume V of his “Study of History”, Toynbee warned of the repudiation of a spiritual principle. He described this phenomenon as “the supreme danger to the spiritual health and even to the material existence of the western body social, a deadlier danger by far than any of our hotly canvassed and loudly advertised political and economic maladies.”
Today, my friends, we are witnessing the breakdown of one of the five civilizations that exist in the world today—that of the
modern Western Civilization. The growth and development of any civilization is a process of challenges and responses to those challenges; and as Toynbee discovered, it is when a civilization fails to respond to an important challenge, especially a moral challenge, that breakdown occurs. History reveals that there is no hard and fast pattern that requires breakdown to occur at all; but once it does take place, the civilization starts disintegrating—and from then on, modern history reveals not a single case in which the process of collapse has ever been reversed.
History has another urgent lesson for us as well, and that is that civilizations are never destroyed merely by an overwhelming external attack. Instead, it’s always internal decay that sets the stage for collapse. And so it is today.
While Jimmy Carter spouts threats and propaganda according to the dictates of those who control him, the words of Alexander Solzhenitsyn carry the weight of true importance proven by the entire history of human existence.”
